He's so lucky he got friends to teach him bro. Keep it up! Ride safe! He's really good for a first time rider.
my R7 is my first bike and I love it and so glad I didnt get anything smaller or bigger
how much do they cost? I'm Australia
how was learning it in the beginning... getting it tommorow as my first bike and am kinda nervous about everything now lol
@@eznemo2346 Nothing to be nervous about bro!! I went from literally no riding experience, only took the MSF course on a ninja 300 for 2 days then straight to the R7 after a few months of shopping and was completely fine.I took it slow for the first week, just around back roads and stuff. You're going to love it bro!
Picking up mine tomorrow and it's my birthday can't wait..
Damn I want this as my first bike as well hope I can get it this year.
Doooo itttt
Did you get it?
I started on a 84 shadow 500 (491 cc, 50hp and 30ft-lbs torque) I've wanted to start on a super sport cause I knew i could control my wrist and respect the motorcycle. I wasn't ready for that high of a budget though.
This coming year I'm looking into either an R7 or a massive upgrade to a zx6r or gsxr 750 (I would go with an R6 if I could find one but sadly not many around my area rn Im lowkey hoping I win the R6M that C2W is building). The guys in my group I ride with warned me that if I plan to just jump up another tier of bike in the future after getting an r7 it would make more sense for me money wise to not waste the money on the r7, and go straight to a 600 super-sport or middle-ground with the 750 over a liter bike. That being said I would like my finisher bike I want to be the R1 or R1M.
My only reasoning with not getting an R7 is I know I wont be able to keep up with them on the freeway during the fun zoomy time. Not that I can keep up that much on my cruiser as is but corners I do fine in I am getting into more of the technical riding I have sharpened my low speed skills and still practice them every chance I get.
Feel like I need some guidance on it. I trust my riding I ride my own ride. I am still learning and will continue to learn, but after 3 months on a 500 I'm craving that power bump. Like Twisties I can make fun by going a little more speedy in and I actually lean my cruiser I ended up scraping part of my exhaust and foot peg yesterday from getting to much lean in. I know not the smartest thing to do but I know I can respect these machines. I can think outside of my wrist and actively continue to learn while giving myself access to more power.
I'm also in CT Meriden area
Hot take, 48-95hp is the best hp range a bike can have for non track/touring purposes.
Nice one! I couldn't choose but went for the MT07 2022 ❤
Can’t go wrong with that!
I got myself the same bike back in October. Put nearly 11k miles on it, full exhaust, a custom vinyl wrap, and I changed the sprocket and chain. Probably the best bike I could've chosen to start on.
Amazing friends. I wanna get a used r7 as my first bike
Dooo ittttt
@@JohnHubz definitely will when I move to Texas!!
Yo your one friend looks so much like the wrestler MJF from AEW it's crazy lol. Awesome video!
lmaoooo
I plan on buying one next spring (could’ve got it now but I don’t wanna pay for a storage unit for couple months of riding) but do you recommend getting it with a quick shifter as a new rider or would it be better as a new rider to avoid it to get better at shifting?
the quickshifter would allow you as a new rider to focus on everything else but knowing and having good clutch work is a key riding factor to staying in control. i have a z900 that doesnt have a quickshifter or autoblip and its fun for a raw experience
Congrats bro enjoy
I wanna get a z900 as my first bike. I might get a 310cc first for a couple months then trade in too be comfortable
How is an r7 a beginner bike. I don't quite understand.
It is a good middleground where it doesn't lack power but also does not have too much. Great bike to grow into
I tend to agree, might be different somewhere like USA with better roads, but in the UK I would not recommend.
did he get this with no bike experience at all and just learned form there? is he still alive?
Alive and well
@@KJF10 good
🤣 haha yeah hes fine, he had dirtbike experience as a kid
@@JohnHubz Glad he's doing well. I just got on a bike for the first time today. Ninja 300. Wish i got into bikes a lot earlier.
I have a random question, Did Kevin sell it back to the same dealership? if so I am looking into buying a used on at the same place with an exhaust and fender eliminator what are the chances its his?
@@eddieromani3670 oh that’s definitely his, he just traded it in for a ZX6R. Watch my recent vid
@@JohnHubz Wow what a coincidence that I found this video! I'm hopefully gonna seal the deal if numbers are right this week. ill for sure check the video out
@@eddieromani3670 Small world! Good luck and enjoy! It is a solid bike.
My new R7 (first bike) is getting delivered next month. Stoked!
I got the exact bike as my first. Best bike ever! They are mental with added boost.
yo im from CT too Stratford, gotta doa meet up soon
Hmu
CT as well
Would you recommend for a beginner with no bike experience? Debating between an r7 or CFMoto 450ss depending on how I feel after I take the MSF next month.
Also I’m 5’10 with a 32-33” inseam so I don’t want anything that’s physically small.
I wouldn’t normally recommend a sport bike as a first bike because it’s an aggressive riding position and can be more challenging for a beginner to maneuver. I think a better option is a naked upright bike like its sister (MT07). With that said, power wise it’s a bit twitchy/snappy in low rpm so just be careful but it’s not a bad option.
Can we have an update on Kevin?
Please wear a an armoured motorcycle jacket and trousers and boots I ride a motorcycle myself from the UK ,please do so Ive seen and witnessed skin ripped of to the bone and taken there limbs of. correct motorcycle will keep you intact completely. Be safe from a fellow Yamaha motorcyclist. Awesome review by the way.
I am wearing full gear. The flannel and pants are Kevlar with armor from NBTClothing. You can use my code for 15% off. “HUBZ”
hi, what is his height? and the height of the one who drove it home. i am 188cm (6'2) i don't want to look like a giant on a grom
I have a r7, I’m 6.2 and it doesn’t look weird
I have a bmw g310r and am looking at upgrading. I sat on a r7 and it felt pretty good but I dont want to grow out of it too fast. Do you think it would be a good upgrade or should I go for something with a bit more power?
it depends on your riding style. I had a ninja 300 then bought a gsxr 750. It’s perfectly dailyable but it’s got so much power that i don’t even use, i feel an r7 would be better for my riding style since i tend to just cruise and ride casual, plus i like the low down torque. No matter what bike you’ll get you might second guess yourself but i sat on an r7 and wanted one too, but it’s cheaper to buy a used bike, so that’s what i did. I’ll prolly get a r7 later or the r9 but nonetheless i kept my 300 so that’ll tell you something
How bad is the comfort my first motorcycle options are the r7 and zx6r and duke 790 which should I get out of those
Is comfort the most important to you? If so, the duke 790. Any sport bike will be uncomfortable due to the seating position . R7 and zx6r will probably be around the same position.
Yeah I’ve owned dirt bikes before but which would you go for out of those 2
890R for sure
Thanos exhaust
Congrats on the new bike 🏍️ 🏁
CP Twin lol
I want to get this but I’m afraid because I’m very light in weight and so idk if I could turn it and move it. Any suggestions or comments? I think I’m around 55-60 kg I think, and I’m 18.
R7 is a light bike, you should be fine
I feel the same way, we are same age and weight and I feel like i would never upgrade from this vs the r3 i think id wanna upgrade in a few months
I have another question what would be better as a first motorcycle the duke 790 or 890r which is best for a beginner
Engine wise they are pretty similar. I would go with whichever you can afford. The 890 is newer and has cool features.
If you have 0 experience on 2 wheels, both of those bikes are pretty powerful. I would start on something smaller. But if you grew up with dirtbikes, you can prob get comfortable quick
Perfect tool for every job
Nice video 👌
Thanks!
First bike should be a 300
Agreed . I currently ride on a 150 lol but love it to bits
Depends, some people will outgrow that too fast
@@JohnHubz do you think the rs 660 would be a good beginner bike for someone who learns fast, is eager to learn it, and because of the safety tech on it and its supposed to be less aggressive than the yamahas?
@@SIRA063 I’m not super familiar with that platform yet but I will say that Aprilia’s can be maintenance intensive and expensive to own and for that reason I do not suggest them to new riders. If you have the budget, I’m sure power and tech wise it’s a great bike. Probably a bit fast if you’ve never been on 2 wheels, but have good discipline and throttle control and you should be fine. Just keep in mind it’s a lot more expensive to fix if you go down. Get some good frame protection asap.
@@JohnHubz Which bikes are less of a hassel maintenance wise?
